Sachin Asks: I am beginner in Google ad sense but am bit familiar with it and hence interested to go further. I have my blog site created recently and wanted to incorporate ads on the same. Have couple of questions in this regards thus request you to help me in solving these queries.
1. What are the steps to get your site register with Google for ad sense?
2. What is the amount you get per click? if it differs from ad to ad then how do u find that clicking on which ad gives u more amount?
3. What kind of content attracts more users to your site?
4. After how much span we should update content for maximum hits
Answer:
That's a long list of questions Sachin! Here are some pointers that would help you in finding answers to your queries.
1. Registration for AdSense would require your site to comply with the program policies and the eligibility criteria.
2. Cost Per Click varies across keywords and verticals. It can also change significantly between sites. You may use tools like KeywordCountry to get an idea of how much a keyword would likely pay.
3. Content that people would want to read, ie; the content that they would search would attract more traffic to your site. You may use keyword tool to find search volumes.
4. You should fix a posting frequency based on your convenience rather than pushing yourself into unrealistic schedules. Posting daily will normally give something to your daily visitors to read and keep them bonded.

Second Adsense Account on a New PC?
Punit asks:
If we get banned from 1 PC then is it possible that we cant make new acct for AdSense from that PC because the IP address is traced if so what to do to change the IP address of PC so that they get different IP address?
Answer:
Once banned, you are not supposed to make a new account and a ban would hold good for a life time. So it’s always advised not to go against the ToS. It’s like killing the goose that lays golden eggs. As a publisher, you need to think long term and avoid violations for short term benefits.

Adsense Account Disabled - New Account?
Sidharth asks:
My account has been disabled :( today itself and I know that I performed something that was against Google TOS (because then I didn’t know everything about Google adsense).
I know chances of recovering back is almost 0. So what I want now is that I know full rules and TOS now and won’t engage in any sorts of click exchanges. Now my main question is I know that once banned address cant be used, but if I use my relatives name and address and operate the account from my computer (i.e. same IP which I earlier used for adsense), will that cause any harm to my new account ?
Answer:
I appreciate you honesty in that point that you admit of having done something wrong. My friend, if only you had taken this decision (won’t engage in any sorts of click exchanges) a bit earlier, the story would have been very different. As you already know, a ban would hold good for a life time and Google is very particular about this. For answering this, I assume that you are using your relative’s account on your sites and operate it from your PC.
Google uses a set of online and offline methods for invalid click detection / prevention. The online methods include a series of filters that filters out invalid clicks on a real time basis. The offline methods include both automated as well as manual methods. Google also have systems that can detect multiple accounts opened by the same person. Google does every bit it can, to uphold the credibility of Adwords program.
Boiling all these into a one liner would mean that Google would vigilantly look at this: “Is an account a threat to Advertisers?” If it is, they will ban the account; if its not, the account will stand.
Not much more on this is publicly available.

Traffic Exchange with Adsense?
Marco Esposito asks:
Thank you for your tips!
I'm a Italian blogger. Which of these promotional activities are eligible in a web site with Google AdSense?
-publish banner of traffic's exchange
-publish a Blogroll
-publish a "My blog friends" list
-publish comments with the 'nofollow'
-publish gadget as MyBlogLog widget or similar
Thank you!
Answer:
Glad to know that you found the tips useful.
Let’s go right to your answer. You can use all except the first one on a website with Google Adsense. Let’s take a deeper look.
Advertisers appreciate only quality to their websites and so does Google. The kind of traffic that a traffic exchange program brings may not be converting. This is an excerpt about traffic exchange programs from the official Google Adsense blog: “While these services may help advertise your site, we don't recommend using them, as they may also result in similar invalid activity.”
Placing a Blogroll, links to blogs under My blog friends, comments with (or without) 'nofollow' and publishing a gadget as MyBlogLog widget or similar is not going to hurt your Adsense. That said, you are responsible for the content on your site and must take care not to add content that goes against the ToS.

Classic Template Against Google ToS?
Aniket asks:
I'm Using Classic Template (I got it from one blog) for my blog; there I can’t edit the layout. I got only one place to put the AdSense Add. Is there any way by which I can put more Ads on it? And is using modified template against the terms of AdSense?
Answer:
The classic template is mainly plain html. You can navigate to Template > Edit html and directly paste the ad code into the template.
Remember to take a copy of the template before you make any changes so that you have a backup if something goes wrong. Classic templates don’t provide a ‘Download Full Template’ option, so you can directly copy the code for taking the backup.
Using a modified template has got nothing to do with the Adsense ToS. But you need to take care that what you have on your template and content for that matter is in accordance with the ToS. Say if you have some hate speech on your modified template, that’s not accepted.
There are a lot of new blogger templates available for free on the net. I would recommend you to upgrade to the layout style so that editing the templates are so easy and the number of available templates are much more.

Adsense on Software Crack Website?
Rock asks:
I want to create a blog for software and games which will contain some the full version software including some cracks / keygens or serials. So I want to know if Google allows adsense along side cracks / keygen or cracked software. Because when I first applied for adsense, I made a site for software with lots of full versions software in it, but my application was rejected. But later on I have seen lots of sites which have software with cracks but still use adsense. I hope you understood my question. I will be hoping to get my answer soon…
Answer:
Though placing ads on software / game review sites are perfectly accepted, Google prohibits the use of Adsense on sites with hacking / cracking related content. Also using adsense with copy righted content for which you do not have permissions to host is a strict no-no. Providing serials or key gens can invite other burdens too.
The fact that some other publisher is using it on such sites is not in any case an excuse for violating the TOS. It’s a matter of time before Google flushes out these sites from the Adsense program.
Hope that answers your question and brings an end to your long wait!
Also have a look at other things that can get you banned from adsense.

If Adsense Account Gets Banned ?
Punit asks:
Can I make another acct. with same name & address if I get banned once? Can I have a second acct. with same address but diff name? Can I get my back banned acct?
Answer:
As per Google ToS, a person is supposed to have only one account. Once banned, the ban holds for a life time and you may not apply for a new account.
You may go for an appeal here if you get the email telling that your account is disabled. You can find the appeal form here.
In most of the cases a disabled account would NOT be reinstated. If banned, you may try some of the Adsense alternatives on your site. You can also try this work around when your adsense account gets banned.
As always, prevention is better than cure. So you may go through this article on things that can get you banned as well.

How do I use keywords?
Sidharth asks:
I have a blog registered on blogspot.com
My questions are:
1. How do I use keywords and put them into my blog. I have come across some good keywords and have a good knowledge of keywords and competitions and all... but where do I put them in my blog?
2. I keep modifying and viewing my site too often, as a result of which some impressions increase automatically. Is this ok or it violates Google TOS?
3. How do I know my Google page rank
4. Is pinging by pingomatic safe?
Answers:
Let’s start with your last question and them move up.
4. Ping-o-matic
This is a service to update different blog search engines that your blog has been updated. Using Ping-o-matic to ping the different services is perfectly ok if you use it reasonably. Never over use it or you will be flagged for spam by different servers.
3. Knowing your Page Rank
You can use the Google toolbar to know your Page Rank. In fact, Google toolbar is a must have tool for any Blogger / webmaster. It can be of great use when finding possible link partners.
You can download it here for free. There are also a lot of web based tools for checking the PR.
2. Viewing my site too often
We recently answered a similar question on “increasing your impressions”. Please go through it.
1. How do I use keywords
Write plenty of articles relating the keywords you found and then post it on your blog.
Take care to mentions these keywords once or twice per paragraph and through out the article body. But be cautious not to use it too often, this can be considered as keyword stuffing by certain search engines. Once done, you can post these articles (rich in keywords) the same way you do with other posts. Don't forget to go through the things to know while using high paying key words.
You may also want to give a post title that has the main keyword(s) in it. Keeping in mind that each post is a separate file, you only need to mix 2-3 keywords in a single post or you can dilute the keyword density. Make sure to write more posts so that you can cover more keywords.

Accidentally Clicked Your Ads?
Harish Babu asks:
I have clicked on my own ads accidentally.
Will Google ban me? What do I do now?
Answer:
Hi friends,
I was on travel during the weekend and couldn't post. Hope you all had great weekend too!
I would like you to take care not to click on your own ads. But then, while testing your site, it can happen accidentally and Google is well aware of it. They have told in their [link: show link to Google post]blog[/link] that they are aware of this and there is no need to mail them for such an accidental click.
Google monitors your account continuously and can flag out invalid clicks. Though you may not see it in your account, the credit for such clicks are reduced. This is done so that their advertisers would not have to pay for such clicks and hence to protect their interests.
I would also mention the Adsense Preview tool here. You can use the adsense preview tool to have a look at what ads you will get on a particular page. Through the preview tool, you may also check out the sites to which your ads link to. This is a free tool from Google and you can download it here.

Clicking Your own Ads from Different IPs ?
Abhishek asks:
1. What if I keep on clicking ads thru diff IPs, but the same computer? Actually I have a dial up connection, so my IP address changes every time I disconnect.
2. If you have your own site, then how do you earn? I mean just through adsense or is there any other way too?
Answer:
1. I would advice you not to click on your own ads. This is against the Google TOS and you can get banned by doing so. Once banned you are banned for ever, although there are some work-arounds. There are complex algorithms that are employed to track the click patterns. Simply, it’s not worth the risk to click your own ads. Always think long term and it’s easy that many people thing to get a decent traffic. Go through this article on how to make your blog better.
2. Once you have a web site with decent traffic figures, the monetizing possibilities are endless. The simplest and quickest to set up is adsense. Keep experimenting with your ads and figure out what works best for you. Believe me; work works for another site may not work for you. But then, there are certain things like, size of the ad unit that may work well in most sites. There are a handful of similar programs, but the best one is Adsense.
Another way to monetize is through affiliate programs. You can join some affiliate program that sells stuff that would interest your users. Do a little up selling on your site and send users to the sellers sales page. When your users buy, you get a commission.
Yet another option to monetize is by selling your own products. The easiest of them is information products like ebooks. You may be an expert in your own field and if you come up with some ebook, your users will be more than eager to buy.
Hope that would help you in monetizing better.

Adsense Account Disabled?
Pratik asks:
My account was disabled. If I take a new broadband connection, can I create my account again?
Answer:
[Answer edited as per the comments below]
Your broad band connection has got nothing to do with disabling of your Adsense account. You won’t be able to re create the same account again.
A ban from Adsense holds good for a life time! So you won't be able to re-apply for Adsense. The only thing you can do is to partner with someone who already have an account and allow them to display ads on your site and get a good share of the revenue.
You can also tell some relative of yours to start an Adsense account and use it on your site! The point here is, add value to your advertisers. Do not pose a risk to them! Stay away from anything that violates the ToS.
Tip: Learn the reason for which Google disabled your account. It might be due to some TOS violation. Refrain from doing things that violate the Google TOS. Always think long term, work on getting more traffic. More traffic means more money (if you monetize them well)
Hope that answers your question.
All the best!

Violating Google Terms of Service (ToS)
Amarpreet asks: If I open my website several times a day, will it give me a loss?
If I click Google ads for my own interest, will Google ban me?
Answer: Hi Amarpreet, The show begins with you!
Let me start with your second question. Clicking your own ads is against the Google ToS. Clicks must result from genuine user interest. I advise you to refrain from using any other method to generate clicks or impressions. It's like killing the goose that lays golden eggs.
Google introduced such a rule so that the interests of advertisers in the Adwords Program (Adsense ads come from Adwords) remain high, as ever. This is one of the reasons behind the huge success of Adwords that then moved on to Adsense.
Onto your first question now.
That would depend on what exactly you mean by ‘several’. If you have CPM ads and you keep on loading your page continuously with an intention of increasing your impressions, then that can cause a problem, for this can also be treated as a violation of the TOS. That said, it’s ok to open your site a decent number of times and that’s not going to bring you any loss!
But then, when you test ad placement (or design) on a new website, it’s almost necessary to load the pages several times. Though Google is aware about this and is not likely to show you the red card, it’s always better to follow certain things that can help you test your new website risk-free. I will soon come up with an article on ‘Testing your website risk-free’. Stay tuned.
